basecamp v0.2.3

This release focuses on refining the user experience and improving the quality of automated output. It fixes an issue with the notarization process where an incorrect value was being returned, ensuring more reliable behavior when notarization is enabled in templates. This addresses a critical requirement for smoother workflows involving notarized builds.

There are also adjustments to the AI-driven changelog generation features. The changelog prompt has been retooled to produce concise narrative summaries, improving the clarity and utility of automated release notes. Additionally, extraneous markdown code fences are now stripped from AI outputs, ensuring cleaner and more professional results in generated content. These updates enhance the overall utility of the tool, especially for teams relying on automated changelog generation.

basecamp v0.2.2

⚠️ Breaking: Introduce a trust model for authority keys in configuration files — users must now explicitly basecamp config trust a .basecamp/config.json before authority keys like base_url and profiles take effect.

Add --subscribe / --no-subscribe flags to recording creation commands (documents, messages, schedule entries) for subscription control. Support custom OAuth redirect_uri for environments that need non-default callback URLs. Convert HTML content to markdown in presenter output, including rendering todos as task lists.

Fix AI labeler re-adding already existing labels and restore error guards on labeler edit calls. Fix 86 CodeQL findings across Go, Python, and CI workflows.

Enable macOS code signing and notarization for release binaries. Add config trust / config untrust commands for the new trust model.
